For the Indians, Chinese and Malays in Ijok, please think like Malaysians. It does not matter if PKR is represented by a Malay, he will still represent you too. Not the race, how he serves you, counts! A friend passed this article to me. He got it from someone. I do not know who? Think for the long term and your future about your votes, it is time to remove this officially sanctioned oppression.
Do you think just lamenting and continuing to be passive by voting for MIC and the rest of Barisan candidates in the coming election will help the situation? Indians who are better off may only think of their own "comfort zone" and insulate themselves from the Indians suffering because the latter are from a "lower class".
You can allow the fate of these poor Indians to deteriorate but sooner or later you or your children or close friends will be "trapped" in a situation where you will have to beg for the good will of other communities for your salvation. Make the plans for the community now or pay the price in the future. Don't give excuses because there are genuine and sincere Indian community leaders in NGOs that are fighting hard, eg. Hindu Sangam, to save wanton destruction of temples and Indian society and culture. Being afraid to speak out to your friends and relatives to come together for the sake of Indians in the country is not going to help or protect you. It will only prove that you do not care and when the dire results of destructive marginalisation of Indians does prove itself to you as an individual or your family, it will be a hundred times harder to put your head above the murky waters!! Think hard and act now if you care!
For all Indian voters in IJOK,the Portugese came and had a war, but they become bumiputras but the Indians and Chinese slog till today and are still .. what ? And now the latest version....... The Govt's announcement (26th February 2007 ) of its intention to build schools for 34,000 Indonesian children was applauded by the Indonesian Govt who called Malaysia its "very good friend". Not only do we provide jobs for MILLIONS of Indonesians, we will also provide quality education for free with better facilities than they enjoy back home in Indonesia . To me, this is somewhat a surprise. The 9th Malaysia Plan provided no allocation for the building of any more vernacular Chinese and Tamil schools and when MCA youth officials questioned the absence of allocation, UMNO youth's Datuk Hashim Bin Suboh from Perlis (at the last UMNO Gen Assembly) asked Datuk Hisham what he was going to do next with the Keris now that he had unsheathed it, kissed it and waved it about. He was suggesting that the MCA's demands for the construction of Chinese schools be handled by more than just verbal debate. Continued here...... |
